Today ended up on an unofficial closing bell basis (official DJIA level may change as late as 4:30), but that was not the case all day and the "win" felt more mixed than like another consecutive rally. But a win is a win no matter how sloppy it gets. The US Deficit has reached a record $765 billion in just five months. And here are today's unofficial closing bell levels:
Dow 6,930.40 +3.91 (0.06%)
S&P 500 721.36 +1.76 (0.24%)
Nasdaq 1,371.64 +13.36 (0.98%)
